Comments for "Start Your Own Team"enI'd love to give Vancouverhttp://www.nbadraft.net/forum/start-your-own-team-1#comment-542215
<p>I'd love to give Vancouver another chance to have a team, try to get the Grizzlies name back but if not then call them either the Sasquatch or Killers(put the killer whale as the logo). Old school Vancouver Grizzly colors if Grizzlies or Sasquatch, white, dark blue and bright green(similar to the canucks color scheme) if Killers. </p>
<p>Coach: Sam Mitchell</p>
<p>Picks</p>
<p>Pick #1: Anthony Bennett, he's Canadian, lots of potential and can play sf/pf, hits threes, solid post game, explosive athlete.<br />
Pick #14: Kelly Olynyk, he's Canadian, has an impressive post game and can hit the jumper out to three, his improvement this year shows that he has a great work ethic.<br />
Pick #31: Myck Kabongo, he's Canadian, exciting young pg with blazing speed, great passer with lots of potential.</p>
<p>Free Agents</p>
<p>Jarrett Jack pg (Calderon if I cant get him)<br />
Booby Gibson 3rd pg (awesome nickname)<br />
go after Reddick, Foye, and Barbosa for shooting guards<br />
Chase Budinger and Alan Anderson for small forwards<br />
make a big push for Paul Millsap or JJ Hickson (not both) for power forwards, Hickson can play a little center too<br />
DeJuan Blair and Dalembert for C, he's Canadian and can still give solid minutes off the bench or even start.</p>
<p>Team (assuming i get my prized free agents)</p>
<p>pg: Jarrett Jack//Kabongo//Booby<br />
sg: Reddick//Foye//Barbosa<br />
sf: Budinger//Bennett(if he proves capable on the wing)//Anderson<br />
pf: Millsap//Bennett<br />
C: Dalembert//Olynyk//Blair</p>
<p>Proceed to tank for Andrew Wiggins...he's Canadian</p>

<p>Team: Purple Manatees<br />
Location: Paduca, KY<br />
Coach: Mike Budenholzer (long-time Spurs assistant)</p>
<p>Trade 1st overall pick back to the get the the Cavs pick, their Heat pick (late first) and one of their early 2nds<br />
Draft McLemore with the Cavs pick. Trey Burke with the 14th pick. DeShaun Thomas with the Heat pick. I'd trade the 31st pick back for the Blazers' mid 2nds. Draft Mike Muscala with the early 2nd round pick acquired from the Cavs' trade. Draft Solomon Hill and use the other mid 2nd to draft and stash Mam Jaiteh.</p>
<p>2013 Draft haul: Ben McLemore, Trey Burke, DeShaun Thomas, Mike Muscala, Solomon Hill, Mam Jaiteh</p>
<p>Sign: Paul Millsap (4yr 40mill), Tony Allen (3 yr 15mill), Beno Udrih (3yr 12 mill), Brandan Wright (2yr 4 mil), Delonte West (1yr vet min), Tiago Splitter (4yr 28mill), Kyle Korver (3yr 15 mil), Josh McRoberts (1 yr vet min) </p>
<p>Lineup:</p>
<p>Burke/ Udrih/ D.West<br />
McLemore/ T.Allen<br />
K.Korver/ D.Thomas/ S.Hill<br />
P.Millsap/ B.Wright/ J.McRoberts<br />
T.Splitter/ M.Muscala</p>
<p>Stashed overseas: M.Jaiteh</p>
<p>Under the cap to still be a player in the 2014 FA. Suck enough to get a 2014 lotto pick.</p>
<p>2015, we taking over.</p>

<p>Vegas can't havea team because the sport book, unless they change their state law. Like the idea of a team in Louisville. KC and Cincy neither could support the Clippers which is why LA has two teams. Not sure of St. Louis. As for my Team I would start the Kentucky Colonels back up. With the First pick I have to take Cody Zeller if he comes out. At 14 I would take Olapido. At 31 I take a chance on AJ Mathews. As for a coach I hire Mike Brown. I would try to sign DJ Augustin, Willie Warren, Terrence Williams, Johnny Flynn, Damien James, Joe Alexander, Alexis Ajinça, DJ White, Donte Green, Christian Eyenga, James Anderson,and Craig Brackins. I don't expect to be great from day one but we will be better than the Pelicans or Bobcats.</p>

<p>Las Vegas, Kansaa City, St. Louis, and Cincinnati are all NBA-less regions that would not only thrive locally but spread a pretty wide region. I'll take Las Vegas since the Western Conference is lacking some true western teams (NO, Memphis). What makes it interesting is that Vegas is only the 43rd biggest tv market and that's what the NBA targets. Sacremento is 20th, St, Louis 21st, Kansas City 31st, and Cincinnati 33rd. Business wise, St. Louis, for fun Vegas. I have no clue what to call it but the Las Vegas Bandits seems fitting. </p>
<p>Starting in the draft I'd take Shabazz Muhammad. He was born in Las Vegas and played there so that'd be great for the association to the city. He reminds me of a James Harden type of player who can relentlessly attack the rim. With the 14th pick, using Aran's mock, I'd take Trey Burke. Young point guards are becoming more common, but to find a guy who can dictate pace and make clutch plays at the end of the game is not a run of the mill commodity. At 31st give me Patric Young. A guy who can crash the boards and provide toughness in the post is exactly what I want on my team. If he can have a Reggie Evans type of impact on my team sign me up. </p>
<p>4 prime free agents I would try to run for would would be Dwight Howard, Al Jefferson, Andre Iguadola, and J.J. Hickson. I need a center in the worst way and an all-pro defender on the wing. Dwight is cancerous to a team and doubt he'd go to a new market so he's out. Jefferson and Iguadola I'd say wouldn't be too keen on signing with an expansion team in their primes either. Hickson seems legit since he's thrived in Portland and has been on the west coast for a minute. I would also try to get Tiago Splitter for a bargain and hope he turns into an Omer Asik type player with more playing time. Keleena Azubukie would be a minimum contract and hope he'd return to pre-ACL form. Eddy Curry has gotten a lot of sh!t in the past but he looks more professional now, plus signing him as a back up center wouldn't be too costly. Sign a 3 point shooter like Daquan Cook, hopefully Corey Brewer, and Jarrett Jack (it could happen). I don't know how many players can be protected in an expansion draft so I won't go through that.<br />
So:<br />
PG- Trey Burke/Jarrett Jack<br />
SG- Shabaaz Muhammad/Daquan Cook<br />
SF- Keleena Azubukie/Corey Brewer<br />
PF- J.J. Hickson/Patric Young<br />
C- Tiago Splitter/Eddy Curry<br />
Target Dakari Johnson in the 2014 Draft and you're off to a great start. I'd love to have a long SF with lock down D potential though. In the words of Marv Albert, YES</p>
<p>Edit: Coach Jerry Sloan. From Salt Lake to Vegas</p>
